Papas Pilar Bourbon Barrel Finish

Good flavor and great value for the price. A must to have to day to day.

I’m glad to see that Papa Pilar brand is experimenting with extra aging like Ron Abuelo, Plantation, Foursquare and others. I think they are starting with the original dark Solara pancake syrup and the additional aging help. Still not a huge fan but great improvement.

I'm not a huge fan of bourbon aged rums. I've tried a few a few good ones, where the aging is light, but generally I prefer other types of aging for rums, such as sherry or port barrel aging.

This smells and tastes of maple, bourbon, and vanilla. Definitely not bad, but I prefer their sherry aged rums a little better. However, I do prefer this to their blonde rum.

Less sweet that the other dark rum offerings from Papa's Pilar, which suited my tastes a bit better. Nice layers of flavor and a good long finish.

A great deal of vanilla and sugar. A short aftertaste with that bourbon touch.
Not bad at all.
